of business. >> jon: holy crap! is that true, half? 63 energy companies got significant federal stimulus money and three and a half years later five have gone bankrupt. so that is half, 50%, that's amazing. that's-- what? oh, that's not the same number, hold on-- oh, it's actually 8%, man. i really have to get a zune. (laughter) and then sell it and get a calculator. wow, 8% bankruptcy rate, still, maybe that doesn't sound so bad. but compare that to mitt romney, top-notch bain capital venture capitalist. >> "the wall street journal" did some digging for today's paper it looked as 77 businesses bain invested in while romney led the firm. 22% of those companies either filed for bankruptcy or closed 8 years after the bain investment. >> jon: see, 22%! to 8% for the government. see? (cheers and applause) the government can't even get mitt romney at picking failures. let's take a look at one of romney's nonwinners, was a company called life like which received $2 million from bain, a personal loan from mitt romney himself, shortly before it went bankrupt, bain sold it, taking the company for $15,0

: hi, jon. thank you to c-span. we talk tough. during the bush administration, we talked about the axis of evil, iraq, iran, and north korea. about benghazi -- i watched the hearings all the way through. the two security people kept talking about more security, they ask for more security. mr. nordstrom was asked if more security would have stopped this attack and his answer was no. guest: so what is the question? host: that is all we heard from her. guest: it raises the complexity of the situation in syria. more security would not necessarily have stopped the attacke. the other issue is what the president should have known and when and whether this intelligence should have landed at the doorstep of the white house or not. these kind of request to not normally make it up to the white house. the white house cannot be dealing with every security request for merit local american outpost around the world. the president and vice president have more important work to do. to lay them at the foot of the president is not necessarily fair. it raises the level of presidential attention. president o

. after a brutal couple of months since the company's ipo. we'll fill you in on that. >>> plus, jon stewart gets his crack at monday night's boca debate. it looks to him like romney is leading obama. that clip, later in the show. >>> let's get to the news live at 5:30 a.m. here at 30 rock here in new york city. we begin with the final sprint to election day. the keanes' travel plans tell you everything you need to know about where this race will be had. our nbc political team puts the remaining number of tossup states now at seven with a total of 89 electoral votes up for grabs. today alone, the white house connecticco contenders will hit four of the states from davenport to reno, nevada. the latest "washington post"/abc news poll, this race is statistically tied. mitt romney looking to claim the momentum yesterday with just 13 days to go. >> these debates have super charged our campaign. there's no question about it. we're seeing more and more enthusiasm, more and more support. i had to look at the president's campaign as well through the eyes of those debates. and well, you know,

: here now is megyn kelly. so we still don't know, that was a week ago the president said that to jon stewart. the question is, you're still covering it on your program, right? >> um-huh. >> is this -- are we at fox news overcovering this story? >> no. no. others are undercovering this story. take, for example, that sound bite, with all due respect to the president that sound bite is just simply not true. demonstrably not true because now we have the emails directly going to the white house to the state department to the pentagon telling them that the attack was underway, that there were 20 people on the compound with guns that the ambassador had locked himself in this safe house and this attack would go on for seven hours. and also that this group, this islamist jihadist group al sharia was claiming responsibilities for the attack. >> bill: even while it was underway. >> right. so they knew that on the day the attack happened. >> bill: what is that disclosed? >> it was sent to the white house situation room. >> bill: right. >> the white house situation room. >> it wasn't disclosed? >

, for a self-sul filling prophecy." well written. jon chait sitting with david corn, the author of "47 percent" as if it actually exists. >> it does, it >>. >> how much is it? >> 99 cents. >> read it in one night. >> jonathan you wrote that very well. when i was learning about the theory of b.s., if you will, that they're going to win it reminds me of that prince w. he announced we have the bush family the right to be president and i'm going to dictate through five weeks of recount that i am the president. is this what the other princely born guy is up to, roll snee. >> bush did that before the election, he went out to california, karl rove said he would win 320 electoral votes. >> my daddy said i'll be president, it's coming true. >> i went back and read something i wrote in 2000 when i was at "the new republic" at the time saying bush doesn't have it in the bag and i had to convince everyone he wasn't going to crush al gore, it was a surprising, shocking -- >> but this strategy of saying you've won before you've won creates an inevitability, i think it's ridiculously premature. we have two w

, jon corzine running for it in 2000. jon corzine barely ee k'd out the victory. they were getting so much bad publicity they lost a point in the polls. "the new york times" endorsed the republican in that race. i can't remember the last time that happened. i want to ask you about the overall state of play now. i'm looking at where the senate battlegrounds are right now. missouri, the democrats managed to take that off the board. claire mccaskill is fine. we're talking about north dakota and arizona, an easer republican win and indiana, if lugar was there and olympia snow. whatever happens on election day the democrat vs won "the cycle" to date in a decisive way. is that a farieding on it? >> sure n-a way they have. in february we said republicans probably had a 60% to 65% of chance of getting the four seats they need to get the majority. that percentage now is below 40. they have, you know -- they need a perfect election night, which they're unlikely to get, to win the majority. so yeah, sure, democrats have won the cycle. >> jennifer, that maine race is really interesting. king is a

:26. good morning, everyone, i'm jon kelley. we have a live look from albany middle school where teachers are gathering, ready to hold a vigil for a colleague found dead yesterday. the vigil for james izumizaki will be getting under way. a family member found him dead in his car yesterday morning. police think it was a suicide. just a few days ago the teacher was arrested for alleged lewd acts with a person under the age of 14. police say it was a former student. the alameda county sheriff's department says charges were not filed because that investigation is still ongoing. the albany school district plans to tell students about izumizaki's death sometime this morning. counselors are planning to be on campus. >>> right now let's take it outside -- actually it's tuesday. or is it wednesday? >> it's tuesday, jon kelley. >> i can't keep up it's so hot. >> it's so hot it makes everything more difficult. i'm happy to report this is the last day of triple-digit heat. by wednesday a ten-degree dropoff. this is the reason why. look at this completely clear shot of san francisco. hard to get this

: that is president obama n comedy central with jon storage. he also made comments about libya. we will look at where the candidates stand on foreign policy, foreign affairs and campaign 2012. for now, we are looking at humor. and what role you think plays. does it help or the track to the image you have of him? kentucky, on our line for independents. caller: my comment is but i do not really care for it. i think it just cheapens the issues. they are very serious to people out your suffering. and it just strikes me as fodder for the rich and wealthy. what else do they have to do but laugh at all of us poor people at our expense. it is just indicative of our culture that does not care for one another. thank you. host: florida on our line for democrats, ana. caller: hello. i am really happy about seeing the democracy country. this is beautiful. a separate their feelings and get up and joke. that is beautiful. this is what america is. i loved it. and i think everyone should loved it. we have time that we cry. we have time that we have to laugh. it is beautiful. america is the most beautiful country and

. >>> we know jon huntsman jr. from his failed bid for president yam nominee. but his father is -- >> reporter: if the name sounds familiar it's no coincidence. this is jon huntsman sr. he says he was born with nothing and describes his upbringing aas tough. 42 years ago, he started a small plastics company in southern california. >> in 1973, a small team that worked with me, we invented the big mac hamburger container. >> reporter: over the years, that little company has grown into the huntsman corporation, one of the largest pet row chemical plastics and industrial firms in the world. he describes himself as a deal junkie, who has also developed an addiction for giving, donating more than $1.2 billion so far to thousands of charities and individuals in the united states and abroad. his main charitable focus for nearly two decades, building the huntsman cancer institute. >> i just wanted to have the best in the world. and i bloev that we're -- that's where we are today. >> reporter: that's because cancer has hit his family hard. his mother died from cancer. as did his father

with your secretary of state, jon husted, do you trust the voting process in ohio? >> oh, absolutely. i think that we're going to see what dennis and i stood up for is the same principles we started this job with and that's to give the voters the right to vote as often as they did in 2008 and with the federal court's ruling, those folks are going to be able to vote early. they are going to be able to vote on the weekend before election day. so what we've stood up for has been accomplished in oand i wout change anything in one way. the secretary is not going to suppress the vote in ohio. we're going to win for barack obama on election day and carry montgomery county to the top of the blue tag and the rest of the state of ohio. there is no way that this secretary of state is going to fool the people of ohio and we intend to win this election. this is just one mild stop along the way for dennis and i. we have done the right thing, we're proud of what we've done, and we appreciate the support we've gotten from the people in ohio. everywhere we've been, people have stood up for us, our frien

from jon mandel. attack, attack. and does not need a lot of substance, as long as you attack. we saw this in 2010. the paper that did not endorse me six years ago said that voting for jon mandel would be to award one of the nastiest campaigns ever waged in this state. i do not want just conservative talking points. i want to talk about what the ottoville ski mean, what does china policy mean? what do we do with community schools and colleges to grow jobs in this state? >> back to the audience for another question. >> senator brown, in light of the tremendous budget issues that we face -- [inaudible] cut some spending. how are you -- [inaudible] of >> this question was to whom? >> [inaudible] >> senator brown. did you hear the question? >> i did. i convene every year in washington college presidents to talk about how we can have better access, share ideas to have middle-class, working class kids go to college. one way we do not do that is more tax cuts for the rich. you have got to interesincreased interest on loans. has happened too much in the past decade when the whole government w

is going to be debate style. both mardy and jon are going to make opening remarks and we are then going to open up to a series of topics. i will pose questions and they will respond and be free to question one another and respond to one another. and we will proceed through the series of issues for the duration. the d date is being live tweeted if you choose to join the conversation please use the hash tag #edudebate. speaking first for the camp is marty west of the school for the kitchen deputy director of the harvard kennedy school program on education policy and governments and an executive editor of education next. mardy kuhl edited the book from school housed courthouse. the judiciary role in the education. he's also published widely in academic journals and media outlets and she joins us today as the chair of romney's que 12 education policy group. speaking second for the obama camp is jon schnur, the executive chairman of executive chiefs. during the clinton administration he served as president clinton's white house assistant director for education policy, senior policy adviser o

'm doing a debate with jon stewart on saturday in washington, and i'm sure stewart is going to have zingers all over the place, but if you come in with zingers, you sound stilted, all right. they have to just owe car to you, so if stewart says something dumb which is almost a given, i'm going to pop him, all right. but i don't know how, and so romney's got to have enough confidence in his intellectual acumen to get in there, but if he comes in with all this rehearsed stuff, he's just going to come across as a samb by. >> how do you feel about what the polls say right now? do you think romney is truly behind, or is that closer race than some would have us believe? >> i think romney is running a little bit behind but if he does well on wednesday night he's going to close the gap. look, romney has to look ahead. people know how they feel now. he can't say the president did this, that or the other thing. he has to say this is what i can do for you and make your life better. if he can do that, all right, and put the president on the defensive a few times, he'll gain. >> last thing on this, what

policy. >> i think so. what does he think he is, jon meacham with his forthcoming book? he's had a forthcoming book since jefferson, like, purchased the louisiana purchase. >> i know. >> pulitzer prize. >> it's coming, though. so, guys, let's talk about -- what do we have? >> this is what david axelrod called romney's international trip. >> what's that? >> on "meet the press" yesterday. a dukes of hazzard tour of international destinations. that was good. thank you for that. perfect. >> let's talk about the latest poll that they were talking about yesterday on "meet the press." nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, dead even. >> 47-47. >> i think that fits the feel of everybody that i've talked to. you know, you guys hear it all the time. i hear it all the time. the question, who's going to win? who's going to win? and i've been saying for a couple weeks, probably obama by a few points now. i have absolutely no idea. and a strange thing has happened, mika. you actually have, instead of the romney people acting a little nervous and crazy, which they have, we have for a year, you no

the apology. >> jon stewart noticed something after watching the debate. >> i congratulate him on taking out osama bin laden. drones are being used in drone strikes and i support that entirely and feel the president was right. i want to underscore the same point the president made. i felt the same as the president did. i supported his action there. absolutely the right thing to do to have crippling sanctions. >> i think romney's leaning obama. >> a little late night fun at the candidate's expense. a little more time to go. that's going to wrap things up for me. see you tomorrow. "now" with alex wagner is coming up for the next hour. hi, alex. >> hey, thomas. as the republican vice presidential nominee prepares for a late stage speech on poverty and upward mobility, can he relace memories of his budget policy, michael steele, michael bernstein and heather magee will weigh in. the des moines register released new comments from the president on this subject. my celebrity doppelganger luke russert joins us for a peek over the fiscal cliff. an idea of american exceptionalism bad for political dis

similar. jon stewart did a fabulous job of contrasting them, saying their policies are the same, just choose what color you want. you look at the two candidates, there were a lot of similarities. here you have these critical swing states and it's all going to come down really to the ground game in both places. it's a question of really likability. who do we trust more, because right now, what you see in the polls is on the economy, the american people are saying both candidates as almost equally trustworthy in terms of who can move the economy. so it comes down to in the end, what do those key swing states think. on the women's issues, i will say they're not women's issues. they are men and family issues as well. because reproductive justice and opportunities for access to health care, access to birth control, just as much affects men as it does women. >> quite right. >> they don't affect men the same way. men can't get pregnant. this is a fundamental difference. come on. come on. and if a man were to get raped, pregnancy is not a possibility. so let's be careful -- >> there were thre

on late night tv since march. he's not doing cool interviews with jon stewart and any other folks you kids enjoy so much. why not? what do you think gives there? >> i think that he is trying to reach the young voters in other ways. just yesterday his wife anne stopped in gainesville. i got to meet with her. he's letting his message sink in other ways. he is focusing more on the economy. i think this is a message reaching students without having to go through mtv and leno. he is reaching them in other ways. he is active on the social media. the campaign is in general. i think he's reaching voters still. >> really quickly here, just five, ten seconds from each of you. a lot has been made of enthusiasm among young voters. billy, i assume this is your first time being able to vote? >> this is my first time voting for president, yes. >> are you as enthusiastic as you think some folks were four years ago who are your age? >> i'm incredibly enthusiastic. talking about the work that goes into getting students out to vote on campus, it's all worth it in the end. the type of progress we've seen the

of debate tonight, between bill o'reilly and jon stewart. two hosts with clashing political viewpoints. they will have a mock debate at george washington university, and call it the rumble 2012. tickets sold out almost immediately, and the show will be available over the internet through live streaming. >>> people reduced to tears. >> it's hard to come here. i've been a self sufficient person my whole life. >> she's upset over one mayor's plan to close soup kitchens. why he wants to put them out of business. >> a cool down is in the forecast for your bay area weekend. we're up with a mix of clouds, some fog. we'll look at what to suspect for your neighborhood coming up -- what to expect for your neighborhood coming up. >>> a 10-year-old colorado girl is missing and police have now issued an amber alert. jessica ridge way never made it to school. there was a delay of several hours in reporting the girl missing. her mother sleeps during the day because she works a graveyard shift and she didn't know she was absent until the afternoon. >> it's really hard to wonder, you know, what could g

morning, everybody. i'm john p jon kelley. the giants fans gearing up for that world series tonight. of course, the big story for the giant, pitching. barry zito, he is on the hill for the g-men. he is up against arguably the best pitcher in baseball right now, justin verlander. he's allowed only 10 hits and just two runs in three ball games so far in the postseason. one the questions fans out at at&t park will want to know, will this weather clear up in time for the game? meteorologist christina loren is live. she's all decked out in giants gear with our forecast. good morning. >> hey, good morning, jon, as a man who knows sports, you know the giants have a lot to go up against when it companies to verlander pitching. one thing that isp coup it's ra i cooperating, the weather this morning. it's beautiful. we still have showers on the radar, but the cold is a bigger story so let's get right to your graphics. temperatures are in the 50s. even a couple 40s out there. san jose, dropped off to the mid-40s. at 47. 50 in livermore. 50 in sunnyvale. radar shows you we're starting to clear

. it leads to this lunacy. tv jon stewart said it is time for another edition republicans said what about rape now? really? i thought honestly, one of the -- in a campaign that lacked courage in general romney pretending he doesn't hear the questions the other day was -- you know, honestly. >> no, but basically no one would back away. no one would criticize him. last ten days of the campaign for them. you know, it is just absolute refusal to back down on anything. pretend it's there. so you know, they've just got their foot on the gas and now is not the time -- >> stephanie: seriously, what does it encourage? senator mourdock, are you going to keep the ad up? which way are we going now? like he can't hear the reporters. rush limbaugh. >> the gdp number is out. for the third time, it is 2%. it is going to get revised down to 1.8. never mind the regime guaranteed a growth rate of 4.5% by now. with their stimulus bill. we are growing -- it is anemic. 1.8%, there is no growth. there is no job creation whatsoever.

about it either by the >> moderator: jon margolis? >> he claimed that president bush and republicans would lead the trust fund and you are bound to protect it. as chairman of the senate finance committee you must know that there is something to the argument of your fellow democrat that some restraint on social security growth may be needed for the benefits as regular income. in fact you once voted for and spoke for a six month delay on the cost of living increases for social security. senator, aren't you and governor dukakis using this issue politically rather than dealing with it responsibly? bentsen: i hate to disappoint my good friend bob strauss but we have a contract with the american people on social security, and social security is an issue where senator quayle voted eight times to cut the benefits on social security. this administration came and tried to cut the benefits $122 a month for the retirees to cut the benefits for 62-year-old retirees tried to do an end run on social security when they first came in after promising not to cut it, to cut it by some 20 million. and wh

that as a way out of this. whether jon cash explain why this brief was not signed by his -- wide jon cash explain why this brief was not signed by his predecessor. -- whether john can explain why this brief was not signed by his predecessor. >> it is so difficult to be a government official. you have to represent all of these competing interests. yes, you want to provide lawsuits that combine the -- provide accountability for bad human rights abuses. you want to uphold international law and prevent abusive reciprocal actions. in the first round of briefing, the administration filed a brief which people applauded. yes, corporations can be held liable for violations of international law. that was not a surprise. in the second brief, the administration sided with shell and said no this case should be dismissed. it is inappropriate for that statute to be used to supply jurisdiction for u.s. courts to hear a case brought by aliens against a foreign company in a foreign country for aiding and abetting the ax of a foreign government. you have the solicitor general of the united states arguing th

the other day and jon stewart gave him tough questions about benghazi and libya and we got some actual information and news of course the headline about not being optimal situation the loss of four americans there. >> yeah, look, i mean jon stewart is the best of the non-journalist news outlets and that he does occasionally ask tough questions. i mean, saying that he he is the most serious of the comedy show hosts is not a huge compliment. it's like the best oktoberfest in orlando. or the best gas station sushi in alabama. he asks some serious question. i'm sure obama was mispleased to be asked serious question on those shows. overall strategy like this new ad comparing voting for the first time to losing your virginity these are desperate plays by a campaign that basically wants to argue on cultural terms and appeal to least informed voters most emotional voters rather than making a coherent case defending his own record and defending what he might do in the second term. >> do you think that youth voters come out and vote anywhere near the same capacity that they did in 2008. this clo

to regain control of the senate. >> arizona, we know republican senator jon kyl is retiring. the democratic campaign committee has an ad of attacks. the republican race for his record on issues impacting women. what is happening there? >> really interesting, brooke. this has been a sleeper race. the republican congressman you're talking about, jeff flake, an affable republican, known as a fiscal conservative. he was against the earmarks before, that was cool. democrats have been painting him as too far to the right as -- on social issues for the state of arizona. remember how worried republican leaders were about todd akin's comments about rape and abortion. this is why. watch this ad. >> jeff flake is hoping we remain silent as he votes to defund planned parenthood, denying us access to reproductive and preventative care. >> and another problem for flake is the democratic opponent he's running against is pretty much the last kind of democrat you want to run against, especially in a politically purple, increasingly hispanic state of arizona. richard car momona. he's a decorated vietnam vete

of the aisle. >> brian: we listened to it on radio yesterday. it sounds like steven colbear or jon stewart it sounds like a total comedy nothing to do with either side. >> steve: they feature three people from wall street, evil villians. >> brian: madav and ken lay. >> steve: all indicted and dealt with by the bush administration. >> brian: i clicked on the wall street scandal cards. >> gretchen: one word. distraction. maybe that's why they are doing? >> brian: i whan you mean. i wasn't paying attention. >> gretchen: looking at your ties. >> steve: all for breast cancer awareness month. october. >> gretchen: let's get headlines. a man wearing a bullet-proof vest and flame retardant pants. arrested in the los angeles international airplane. he was stopped by custom agents after arriving from a flight from japan. they found smoke grenade and hatchet and body bag and knifes and more. he was heading home to boston. investigators are trying to figure out what he was to do with those things. did cia have a double agent inside of al-qaida. he is a former radicical. and he teamed up to the cia. st

is doing. actor report their ad buys. but they cannot actually talk and collaborate in that fashion. >> jon stewart and stephen colbert -- >> when they sit there and pretend to talk to their lawyer -- i would say that as a violation of the law. there are two other players worth mentioning. minor players. what is a super pac is opposed to a plain old pac. a good old fashioned pac can take only limited contributions, you are limited to how much money can give. it can do independent expenditures or give its money directly to candidate campaigns. that is what a pac is. and a final player is a generic 527. a super pac is a form of five to seven. a generic 527 -- we go back to 2004, the group spends money on the issue adds, sounding like political ads. the reason i mention this, it groups were not defined as 501(c)4 , it is not like in necessarily would have to go out of business, they would just because 527's. >> i think we officially lost the majority of the audience. i am serious about it. i do think this is the conundrum that we face. a year all serious. people do not come out and a manhattan

. president obama recently sat down with jon stewart for a mostly substantiative interview along with a few jokes. >> we have been speaking now for i think a good 12 to 14 minutes. and i am curious, how many e-mails during that time do you think your campaign has sent to me? >> it depends on what do you max out? >> reporter: no political figure has felt the impact of late night humor more than sarah palin. tina faye's impersonation of her on snl became a defining caricature. >> and i can see russia from my house. >> reporter: she never said the words exactly, but it stuck thanks to funny faye. >> mr. vice president, i know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground. but i think people would be better served if we didn't keep interrupting each other. >> you don't scare me shark eyes. >> reporter: election 2012 may not have proven quite a rich a target, so its ultimatin flubs remains to be seen. but in the midst of a mud slinging horse race. >> governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. >> the president began what i call an apology tour. >> reporter: if nothing else, we co

it was a fellowship of the ring. you had jon huntsman as the baffled elf in one end. and honestly i think ron paul in that scenario kind of hunched and -- >> crashes, gould. >> go ahead, alice. >> my unsolicited advice, of course all my advice is unsolicited, would be for president obama. van, if you would be so kind as to pass this along. i think it's great, i think it's encouraging he's showing the american people who he is, showing his style and personality. when he was elected we weren't really sure who he was other than he's a likable cool guy. he was a great father and wonderful husband and what he's doing now is showing us who he is. i think he needs to continue doing that. i think he needs to show what he's been showing in the debates, that he is a disrespectful guy, that he's condescending. he needs to continue doing what he did speak in condescending manner when he talked about aircraft and submarines and be snar ki to his opponent. i think he needs to continue doing what he's doing talking about small things like big bird and bayonets and binders of women. he needs to avoid talking abou

and the jon stewart report. >> stephanie: all right. >> it was so funny. >> stephanie: thank you. jenny in georgia was going to talk about that. what did colbert do, i didn't see it? >> oh, my gosh. i have never seen him, you could tell that he was very outraged by donald trump. and he just went for broke and it was amazing. you gotta pull it up. >> stephanie: i believe we have it all right. >> a clip on it. >> stephanie: here it is. >> mr. trump, i will write you a check for $1 million from colbert's super pack, you know i've got it, to the charity of your choice, anything, save the children feed the children, put the children on child apprentice whatever, 1 million actual dollars if you will let me dip my balls in your mouth. [applause] >> stephanie: wow. wow. did you know that was coming? >> no, i did not. >> stephanie: wow. >> all right. >> apparently they can say it on tv but not on the radio. >> stephanie: we didn't have time to prescreen that. all right. daniel in seattle. you are on "the stephanie

about the $5 trillion tax cuts. on abc last night, jon karl said that is mostly fiction. multiple times. yes, both of them -- we are going to hear -- there wasn't much of a difference between both of them. i did not see obama differentiate himself -- >> you are planning to vote for mitt romney? >> yes, sir. >> thanks for the culprit last caller -- thanks for the call. at last caller on the independent line. >> i watched the debate last night on mute. >> did you watch it with closed caption? >> yes. i wanted to see the body language. i thought barack obama looked relaxed, a little too relaxed. overall, the body language, and then when i read the text, i think mitt romney shows a lack of integrity. that was the thing that kind of really bothered me, because he looked into the camera and said things that have been tested as far as being mostly false. i do believe that the president missed some opportunities. as a person who follows everything very closely, i did not want to hear something repeated, but i understand how people feel he should have used his rebuttal time in little more wisely

hoosier. but jon, you just said we pay for things in indiana. but when you were speaker of the house, for five of the six years you were running the state house, indiana ran deficits. when mitch daniels came into power indiana was $700 million in debt and had a deficit of $820 million. facts are stubborn things and i'd like to knoll how are we going to make sure and preserve the fiscal integrity of the state of indiana. >> if you had spent the last 12 years here you'd know our budget has to be balanced. i produce balanced budget t and they were supported by our own lieutenant governor. i find it laughable that a united states congressman would lecture anybody about fiscal responsibility. you voted five times, congressman, you you voted and the results increased our deficit by $200 billion with a b dollars. >> find key house and governor races on c-span campaign 2012. >> an update on hurricane sandy coming up at about 2:30 eastern which up until then with an election a few days away a look at new hampshire. >> fst past week we've been taking a look at nine swing states and today we pu

at the studio are republican jeff flake and democrat richard carmona. they are both hoping to replace jon kyl, who is retiring after 18 years in the senate. our debate is more of an open discussion. no time answers. joining us is andrea kelly. thanks for coming in. >> we will start with health care. generally, republicans are in favor of repealing it. democrats are in favor of tweaking it. this has been an issue that has paralyzed congress. if you are elected, will there be any progress on this issue? >> when you are talking about repealing its, you are talking about repealing the president's health-care law. we should do that. we have got to reform health care. we need to do it in ways we can deliver health care more efficiently. the president's health-care law is not that. we have got to do toure reform, force insurance companies to compete across state lines, giving individuals the same pre- tax benefits. we have got to make it easier for individuals to assess health care options like a medical savings account. the president's health care law has made that more difficult. >> will there be
